DESCRIPTION:
very basic hatmaking only for turn of century Less information than the bodice and corset workbooks, for those who are familiar with the author. This book focuses on turn-of-the-century women's hat shapes: wide brim and shaped sweetheart brim. Author lists fabric/notion requirements and provides numerous b/w illustrations to walk you through basic hat-building technique. Geared to very basic hats, which you can put together with a home sewing machine and glue. Maybe even too basic. Don't waste your time Uggybay This book lives up to the title in that it certainly is little. That's the only positive aspect of it. The few techniques described were worthless - they actually are harder than just using correct millinery techniques. A significant amount of space was wasted on illustrations of tacky end-products in the gist of "HAY! U CAN DECORATE YOUR HAT THIS WAY! BUT WAIT! IT LOOKS DIFFERENT IF YOU ADD A LACE RUFFLE!". "Great "Little" Book" according to Nancy E. Provoncha. There's lots of info in this little book! From patterns and how-to-dos to designing ideas. A must for costume and doll clothing designers!
